My car crapped out on the way, but I eventually got to vote. :D Yays for early voting! It was a half an hour wait here in Canton, OH. Not too bad, but the office was cramped and the line went up stairs and around corners. And standing room only, for sure. Had no problems with the touch screen, and I double checked the print out to make sure nothing hinky happened.
Six more days until this crap is over. I cannot wait. I'm interested in it for sure, but also refuse to answer the phone now. We get a call here about once every two hours from one side or the other. And we have a rough representative race here as well.
Now off to 538.com to check up on today's info!

Interesting Article...
Oct. 7th, 2008 03:57 pmThe word Maverick came from a Texas family with a long history in politics...... On the progressive side. The article below explains why McCain using the word "Maverick" as a moniker is kind of ironic, in an Alanis Morrisette way.
Oh, and an 82 year old Texan, Ms. Maverick, a descendant of the family, tells us exactly what she thinks of him using her famous last name as a catch phrase for himself.
I love this 82 year old woman, and I wanna be adopted by this family....

How is he getting away with this?
Aug. 11th, 2008 05:55 pmBush wants to 'relax' the Endangered Species Act. Once again money comes before the health of our planet. Does anybody honestly expect for the individual agencies to "err on the side of caution" when money is on the line? Really?
Oh, this pisses me off. And of course the timing is just right so that it slides in before November, but is too late to cause him any more real problems. I'm sure he has some friends with construction projects that were denied the go-ahead because of the law, and now he's doing them favors. It's so obvious.
And I want Obama to win, I really do, but just because he's better than McCain. He's still a politician, can and will be influenced by his own self-interest and his friends, but at least he won't be so freakin' brazen and cocksure about it and will probably have some boundaries. Jesus.
